GUANGZHOU, SUNDAY — Global top badminton pairs should watch out for Hendra Setiawan and Mohammad Ahsan in 2020. The pair with the oldest average age among the world’s top 10 can be a “dark horse” if they qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. They know how to deal with pressure in critical moments.

They displayed this capability in 2019. Out of 19 tournaments, they made it through to the finals in 11, despite winning in only four, less than Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo-Marcus Fernaldi Gideon with eight titles.
